Pros

None worth mention other than got paid with occasional shortfall if company short on cash flow. £10 to £30 short on 6000 colleagues shore helped cash flow figures, so we had to wait for it to be rectified, providing we submitted the right paperwork in full

Cons

Bullying Management , threat and intimidation by section muppets .Jump on you with disiplineries for slightest reason (of course this restricted any of the abysmill bonus payments maid.

Pros

staff discount - they have occasional events where it doubles (ideal for tvs etc), actually not a bad day to day job

Cons

Management need to be taught how to treat and speak to people properly, they will try and screw you over - I was often given last minute shift changes and im talking been given a 6am start at 2am without getting told and being put on disciplinary for 'not showing up for shift' , seasonal contract is no good, i worked there for 2 years full time hours for the whole of the 2 years (not seasonal) then suddenly they couldnt afford seasonal staff so i was told not to go back with no notice as they didnt need to give me any notice (even the shifts I had for the following week were taken off me
